Hi Leroy! Welcome to Wrong Planet! Check out the different forums here. They are interesting and helpful.
I used to walk a good bit when I was younger, but can't do that any more. Too many falls plus too much weight over too many years = osteoarthritis, and 2 really bad knees. Still, when I manage to get out to run errands, I get to drive through the lovely mountains around here. I like to imagine hiking up them. I did some hiking when younger and miss it. I was never into running, but liked walking.
Don't mind rambling. Everybody does it at least a little. And remember, you are among friends here at WP.
